A fly in shining armour

Best viewed *larger*

Rain for most of the day, dull, windy, a little on the cold side. The only sun shone on this fly for 20 seconds & then it disappeared & I haven't seen it since! I only ever do flies as a last resort, but I have other photos today, but this pipped them to the post! :)

And, oh, not a bird but a.....

Feather from heaven

Off on our holidays tomorrow, going to Rutland for a week, attending the Bird Fair again :) I'm not sure I'll have internet access, if I do, I'll blip, if I don't, I'll have to back blip! But yes I shall be taking a zillion pictures.... :D xxx
